2. In our dream job in 2022:
 I’ve just opened my eyes… I’m enjoying a wonderful view of
the forest through my window as I’m getting dressed. I’ve
already obtained a degree in Economy. I’m working as a
counselor in a development project in the eastern side of my
country. The project’s objective is to stop
monocultivation, that’s actually erosioning the
ground, causing enormous damage in the environment and
stopping production of many other important goods, that
might be even more competitive that the one being sowed. A
normal day in this job goes like this:
- Explain the farmers the advantages of sowing more that one
thing at a time.
- Thinking about new ways to produce and sell farmer’s
food, in order to make them earn some more, which would be
a motivation for them not to use toxic products or
monocultivating.
- Give the government real data about food production in the
countryside, so they can plan useful projects to raise the
nation’s economy.

3. The role of the Internet in the working
arena
 Internet will play a central role in our
dream jobs. It will be the crucial
medium of communication, since we
will mostly telework (or work online).
We will be able to relay on stable, high
performance and affordable internet
connections no matter where we will
decide to work from.

4. Management responsibility on damages to the
environment
 Companies will have to work in 2 areas:
producing and trying to fix every
consequence that this production has brought
(even though this is already happening, this
situation will be clearer by then, according to
us). With scarce resources on Earth, the
industry will have to be as efficient as
possible, of course not forgetting to be
socially responsible. As always, a
determinate group of professionals will work
hard to make their projects sustainable while
the other will try to evade this responsibilities
to make their bosses earn more than what its
fair.

5. Technology performance & the influence of "retro"
culture
 Technology will be an excellent aid to
industries and its level of development
will be very high, especially regarding
automation and precision.
 Nevertheless, there will be a return to
a more humanistic view of work, using
the intellectual resources of people to
go back to manual high perfomance
work, contemplating both quality and
creativity.

6. Risks that worker's benefits will go
through
 In our scenario the workers will be
given flexibilty and work-life
balance, since thanks to online
education, absorbing experiences
from professors from every part of the
globe would be exciting and
useful.This will also allow students to
be perfectly capable to work for any
organization, no matter where they
come from and where their
headquarters are.

7. Our Dream Education in 2022
 A perfect day in the university would
be half attendance, half online.
 Importance of post graduate studies
 Opportunities will be there for people
from all around the world to take them

8. A perfect day in university would be half-
presencial, half online.
 Online-studies offered by universities
will be improved and will include more
fields of study, so economical situation
won't be an obstacle when it comes to
studying.
 It would allow people to get access to
a global education and to interact with
other cultures.

9. Importance of post-grade studies
 To be able to compete in the global job
market we will need further knowledge
and fine critical thinking skills given by
post graduate education. Post
graduate studies will become very
important, not only in matters of
learning, but especially in learning
how to do things.

10. Skills expected from the future
education
 Programming skills (not also for websites
but also for mobile apps) because there
will a lot of web related professions,
English because it will be the vehicular
language when working internationally,
online project management working
skills, because it will make team working
easier, intercultural knowledge skills,
since we will interact with people from all
over the world, research skills because
we will need to navigate through a lot of
information during our daily tasks.
